Official BlackBerry Bold 9000 OS 5.0.0.411 Bell Mobility

Here we go folks. Something many of you all have been waiting for. Finally, an official 5.0 release for the BlackBerry Bold 9000. As it was posted in the CrackBerry forums, Bell Mobility has made OS 5.0.0.411 available for everyone to download. If you've been running the previously leaked version there is no reason to update but if you haven't grabbed a leaked version yet you'll want to get your hands on this one. Remember to delete your vendor.xml file if you are not a Bell Mobility subscriber. Here's to hoping we'll see a bigger roll out across carriers for all devices still needing OS 5.0.

Wonder does this fix the VVM issue??

Posted by puternerd Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

Actually pretty depressing :( Im already running it. No complaints though i suppose. Now if only Google Maps would update and stop battery leaking my phone.

Congrats you 9000 users. Now it's the 9630's turn... PLEASE!! :)

Posted by stillborn86 Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

The Tour just got a leak. Sure it's not official, but who cares? If you aren't 100% satisfied you can get all of your money back. Not some of your money, but all of it. Just plug your phone back in and downgrade and nobody will ever know.

Vodafone germany released os5 for 8900 before christmas.think only over dm.but its official there too!

Posted by serpico Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

Where the hell is it? If Bell is selling it, why not Telus?

Wow, a day after picking up the 9700 this comes out. Welp, will give it a go for kicks!

Thanks for the notification!

Posted by user Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

I cant seem to be allowed to send SMS, did anyone find a solution for this?

Posted by mystic.oracles Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

Anyone has Visual Voicemail? Cause I don't see it on mine.

Posted by altiswkn Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

Anyone have a problem on this section, I have error 404 msg when trying to update it

Posted by mettleh3d Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

Why would they make this official? There's a rampant SMS bug and the camera has non-functioning buttons.

They would like to refund/address thousands of unhappy Bold users by making this official?

Bold owners finally got what they wanted... Y is everyone complaining, just be grateful that its gone official... There is just no please some... If you have problems with OS 5 then just downgrade to 4.6.... Life is way to short too complain about OS problem all the time

Posted by webstar Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

I had the 411 beta on my Rogers Bold, just installed the 411 final and it did ask me to upgrade the BB OS.

The cam bug is there, only two buttons work after taking a picture.

Posted by elite1 Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

The "beta" you mention was a leaked OS, not a beta.
If it has the same version number, it's the same. The post even mentions that above.
Any change whatsoever would lead to a new build number. Otherwise, they'd be releasing 5.0.0.1 right?
All this means is that Bell has decided to put their stamp of approval on this OS released by RIM, and that they'll support it as well.

Anyway 5.0 rocks! So many great tweaks & features, and any kinks will be ironed out shortly I'm sure!

Posted by gunston Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

finally,

Posted by storm83 Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

Storm 1 official next please

Posted by spektakle Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

+1 !

Posted by tamazoid Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

Wow, finally! Never thought this day would come... Thanks!

Posted by Bant Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

Hmm I've followed the instructions (download, extract, BB desktop manager, ...) but it says the update found is 4.6 and nothing being mentioned about 5.0....

Posted by Jerky223 Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

Rogers was first to release the Bold 9000 and Bell/Telus were last, however Bell is first to release OS 5? This makes no sense.
I'm running the leaked 411 so I'll wait for Rogers to play catch up. *sigh*

Posted by synwars Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

Rogers has always been typically slow to release updates for devices, never mind a 5.0 update.

Posted by clee666 Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

Rogers sucks. Rogers are slow.
Look at how fast Bell and Telus deployed their HSPA network.

Posted by chaiyarat Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

I've been waiting for an official one very long. I'll go for it.

Posted by i run this town Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

i am have the same exact problem...i am using ATT

Posted by dmurder7 Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

On a more serious note where's the OFFICIAL for the Curve 8900? Feel like I've been waiting an eternity. I'm afraid to upgrade with a leaked version cuz I don't wanna brick my berry. If anyone WITH a 8900 or GREAT EXPERIENCE can help I'd appreciate it. Thnx guys.

Posted by mestes1999 Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

I deleted the vendor.xml file, select the 5.0 software in the application loader, but it says "No software update is required for your device." Any ideas?

Posted by tharsekan Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

Yes I had the same prob
Someome please help give us an alternative solution

Posted by jackblack3 Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

is that there's another hidden vendor.xml file that's being checked online. When you install blackberry desktop manager, you want to select custom install and "X" out blackberry automatic update. Check this post for more information: http://forums.crackberry.com/f135/why-won-t-my-os-update-i-deleted-vendor-xml-file-120048/

Posted by mestes1999 Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

I completely removed all RIM software, cleaned registry, leftover files. Rebooted, reinstalled, deselcted auto-update. Reinstalled the 5.0 software, tried to update... same message.

Posted by elChrisP Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 758 days ago

Disconnect from the internet (disable your network connection) or modify your BB Desktop install not to allow for automatic updates. The former is the quickest way...

Posted by Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 759 days ago

i need this for rogers
